Expert Answers about Acura MDX


  • Above Ground Height of Curt Class III 13328 Trailer Receiver Hitch on 2004 Acura MDX
  • I don't have that exact measurement handy, but I was able to figure it out for you. The drop measurement (distance from the underside of the frame member to the top of the receiver tube) is right at 3 inches. This measurement on the Draw-Tite # 75599 is just a little bit less at 2-1/2 inches. This means that the inside top of the Curt # 13328 would sit at about 16-1/2 inches above the ground, versus 17 inches for the Draw-Tite. I've linked you to the install instructions for each hitch.

  • Will the Thule T2 Pro XTR Work with Two Electric Bikes with Fenders on My 2022 Acura MDX?
  • I have a solution for you. Here at etrailer, we highly discourage using a wheel-mount bike rack like the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # TH83JV when using bikes with fenders. The wheel mounts increase the possibility for cracking and damage of the fenders. With that being said, a great alternative hitch bike rack is one that uses a frame-mount style. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount...

  • How to Determine Tongue Weight Capacity When Using a Dual Hitch Extender on a 2016 Acura MDX
  • What you will need to do is compare look at the Tongue Weight (TW) of the trailer hitch receiver that is installed on your 2016 Acura MDX. Using a Dual Hitch Extender, like the Malone # MPG544 will reduce the TW capacity of your hitch receiver by 50%. The TW rating for the Malone # MPG544 is 400 lbs which is a combination of both receivers. You will need to go by whichever capacity is lower. As an example; if you were to install the etrailer # e98840 hitch receiver (900 lbs TW) on your...

  • How To Measure Crossbar Spread And Verify Which Accessories Will Be Compatible
  • Crossbar Spread is the distance from the center of one crossbar to the center of the next crossbar. This is a measurement that is typically necessary when determining which crossbar-mounted accessories you can use. I have attached a diagram that shows this measurement. After measuring then you can verify fitment of the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black # SR7018, which fits crossbar spreads of 23-5/8", 25-7/8", 27-7/8", and 29-7/8".

  • Does etrailer Cargo Carrier e34FV Have a Speed Rating/Limit
  • The etrailer cargo carrier # e34FV does not have a speed limit/rating. So as long as you are going a reasonable speed for the conditions of the road it will be perfectly fine. The weight in the carrier does not matter either. I am probably supposed to tell you it can only go the "posted speed limit" haha.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Acura MDX

It is also a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I have linked an installation video below.

  • What is the Towing Capacity of Trailer Hitch for 2003 Acura MDX?
  • Both the Curt # 13328 and Draw-Tite # 75599 are Class III hitches that have a 350 lb tongue weight capacity and 3,500 lb towing capacity. I also checked the owner's manual for a 2003 Acura MDX and it states that the maximum total trailer weight you can tow is 3,500 lbs with up to 3 passengers in the vehicle though it reduces with more passengers. Because both hitches have the same capacities I recommend going with the Curt # 13328 because it will fit with a full-sized spare tire under...

  • Vehicle/Hitch Towing Capacity of 2010 Acura MDX
  • According to the owner's manual, your 2010 Acura MDX has a 5000 lb towing capacity with two occupants. The towing capacity decreases approximately 250 lbs for each additional occupant after two. As long as the as-towed weight of the trailer doesn't exceed the capacity of the vehicle or the hitch (whichever is less), you'll be fine. I'd also recommend looking at the capacity sticker on your current hitch, it's fairly common for a hitch to list two different capacities, one for towing,...

  • Will the Cargo Bag for Carpod Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # M2202 Keep Bag Contents Dry
  • The Cargo Bag for Carpod Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # M2202 that you referenced would keep the contents of the bag dry under normal rain circumstances. As long as the flap that goes over the zipper is folded down over it the rain would deflect off of the bag and not make it's way inside the bag. For added security I would recommend putting the cargo in a plastic bag if you know you will be driving in heavy rain.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Acura MDX
  • Yes, we do. To add a hitch to your 2023 Acura MDX, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C22HR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware.

The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C22HR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity and a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have linked an installation video below....

  • Will Tall Bindings Hit the Roof Using the Yakima FatCat Ski Carrier on a 2008 Acura MDX
  • The bindings will not be an issue when using the Yakima FatCat # Y03095. It has integrated SkiLift brackets. The brackets unlatch from the bottom of the rack and extend, creating extra space between the FatCat and the mount bracket on the hinged end of the carrier. This is a real advantage when you're carrying several snowboards or skis and one of them must be carried with the bindings facing the vehicle's roof.
